Question:
My Father was a Hamms Beer distributor from the late 1940s to the late 1950s. He received a Christmas present from Hamms that was a salad set with the Land of Sky Blue Waters scene painted on the pieces. I have the large bowl, 8 small salad bowls, a pitcher and the tall salt/pepper set. As these have always been stored all are in excellent condition. What would be the approximate value of this set? Thank you, Sandy Rowland

Question:
Hi. Would you be able to estimate a value for this 3-gallon shoulder crock in perfect condition (e.g. no cracks)? There are several glazing flakes and \”flecks\” in the stoneware. The red wing measures approximately 4-1/8 inches in length. This crock measures approx. 15-inches high and has a base diameter of 9 3/4 inches. I also have what appears to be the original cork (with the top corner broken/chipped off).

I would appreciate any information you could provide on this piece. Thank you for your time and expertise!
